Healthy Tuna Melts

Canned tuna in water
Chopped red onion - if you have it
Chopped celery - if you have it
a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, if you want it
Some drained canned corn, if you want it
A tbsp of plain yogurt
grated sharp cheddar - i love Cabot's special reserve ones - the amount depends on how hungry you are, and how decadent or good you want to be.
the secret awesomeness - chiles in adobo sauce, or just the sauce they came in, to taste. Also, spicy food boosts metabolism
whole wheat pita pockets, the thin ones, cut in half

Mix all ingredients, and fill the pita pocket halves.
Bake about 10 minutes at 400 F, or until cheese is melted.

A can of tuna will easily fill two half pitas, and feed a pretty hungry person

Last week I emptied the can (including the spring water) into the frying pan, along with chopped onion and tomatoes and cooked it until the onions were soft....delicious.
Today I mixed it with sweet peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and cottage cheese....yummy

This sounds disgusting but a friend swore by it. Crushed pineapple mixed with tuna. He was a body builder so I assume he knew what he was doing.

avacado! It has creamy consistancy and buttery yummyness. Goes GREAT with tuna. Make just like reg tuna salad. You'll love it. Add half a teaspoon lemon juice for a zip( and so it doesn't turn brown.)

I eat it with salad a couple times a week. Either with lettuce, carrots, fake bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese with light ranch dressing, or with lettuce, parmesan cheese, croutons, and light Caesar dressing. It's really good :happy:

I've also mixed it with spicy brown mustard before and that's pretty good too.

saturated fat. Mayo is eggs with a lot of oil. Everything we try to avoid when cooking...

I use soft tofu in place of mayo and mush it in there with the tuna, onions, boiled egg whites, pepper, a dash of garlic salt and a dash of apple cider vinegar. The tofu kind of tricks your mind into thinking it's mayo and the little tang and moisture you get from the vinegar helps a lot too. :-)

I like it a few different ways...mix with onion, diced tomatoes, jalapenos, and just a bit of Mayo and eat with celery or saltines or on a bed of lettuce; mix it with veggies and hummus; mix in black olives, onions, jalapenos, cherry tomatoes and top with mozzarella cheese, heat until cheese is melted...so good!

That's what I'm havng for lunch, it's delicious. I also love tuna with hot marinated artichokes and some of the marinade drizzled on it.

I just recently tried "Smart Beat" mayonaise. It is only 10 calories. I was nervous that it would taste gross and I was taking it for lunch so I used 1 tbsp smart beat and 1/2 tablespoon regular hellman's mayo and it was fine. Next week I will try just the smart beat.

I love adding lemon, garlic, onions, cayenne pepper, hot sauce and freshly grounded pepper. I do add a tiny bit of low fat mayo, but a lot more Dijon mustard to add taste and consistency. Mix that up with lettuce, tomato and cucumbers, add some low fat vinaigrette and it's DELICIOUS!!!

One of my favorite (and high protein!) meals an open-faced tuna melt. First, set your oven to broil. Then, mix a can of tuna with fat-free greek yogurt or fat-free cottage cheese, and add approximately 1/2 cup each of chopped celery and shredded carrots. Place a piece of whole wheat bread on a baking sheet, and pile the tuna mixture on top (you will probably have enough tuna for 2 sandwiches, so just save the rest.). Top it with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, and place the baking sheet in the oven. Watch it closely, and take it out of the oven when the cheese is melted and the bread becomes toasted. Enjoy!

I hate mayo, but a few months ago I had a random idea of how to make it less dry.

Just use some Tzatziki sauce (easy to make, or you can buy it at grocery stores usually by the specialty cheese) and chop up some celery (gives it awesome crunchy texture). Mix together and throw it in a lettuce wrap, a Flat Out wrap, bread, etc. So delicious.

These all sound yummy and I will be trying several!
